PREFACE 



This book of Service and of Song has been compiled simply for use in Belmont 
School. It is the outcome of a belief that has been justified in our Sunday Services, 
that it is possible to engage the interest and the hearty cooperation of boys of pre- 
paratory school age, in religious services, if only they are made to appeal to the 
boy's sense of their appropriateness to his special needs. 

In selecting the hymns I have kept in mind the ages of the boys for whose use 
the book was made, and the sort of appeal I should like to make to them. I find 
myself more and more shrinking from many of the hymns that appealed to our 
fathers, and that seem now to have a permanent place in our hymnology, because 
they either embody the current belief of the time in which they were written, much 
of which I cannot share, or were intended to be effective through an appeal to one's 
fears, to overwrought imagination, or to unchastened emotion — methods to me 
wholly objectionable. I cannot help believing that the religious convictions and 
affections of boys, and I suspect of almost all natural and healthful-minded persons, 
are better and more permanently reached through an appeal to their every-day 
habits of thought and to their common sense, than to their emotions. 

So also, in selecting prayers, I have kept in mind the weaknesses and tempta- 
tions that are common to boys and well known to them, so well known as to make a 
call for divine help a natural appeal. On the other hand I have tried to keep in 
mind the transporting power of prayer in its best expression. In making selections, 
especially from the prayers of Beecher, I have combined and adapted, and I have 
felt warranted in doing this, because it is no part of my purpose to edit, but to adapt 
for effective service. 

In the selections for Responsive Services, it has been my wish to make a 
collection of readings, every one of which we should all be glad to carry with us as 
precepts and helps in times of perplexity, and as expressions of exultation in times 
of joy. 

The compiler has not allowed the fact that this book is published at his 
expense for use in Belmont School, and not for public use, to cause him, know- 
ingly, to infringe any copyright. If however he has, in any case, done so, he hopes 
that the absence of any thought of gain may be an acceptable excuse.

I am of opinion that the Bible contains more 
true sublimity, more exquisite beauty, more pure 
morality, more important history, and purer 
strains of poetry and eloquence, than can be col- 
lected from all other books in whatever age or 
language. — Sir William Jones.

Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you. 

Seek ye the Lord while he may be found ; call ye upon him while he is near. 
Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts. 

And let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him ; and to our 

God, for he will abundantly pardon. 
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, casting all your 
care on him, for he careth for you. 

Not unto us, 0 Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy 

and for thy truth's sake. Amen.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to 

cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

Almighty and most merciful Father; we have erred, and strayed from thy 
ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our 
own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone 
those things which we ought to have done ; and we have done those things which 
we ought not to have done ; and there is no health in us. But thou, 0 Lord, 
have mercy upon us, miserable offenders ; spare thou those, 0 God, who confess 
their faults. Restore thou those who are penitent, according to thy promises 
declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, 0 most merciful 
Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober 
life, to the glory of thy holy name. Amen.

Most mighty God and merciful Father, who hast compassion on all men, and 
hatest nothing that thou hast made ; take from us all impurity of thought or desire ; 
all envy, pride, hypocrisy ; all falsehood and deceit; all malice and anger, — every-

Lord, make clean our hearts within us. Enlighten our understanding, that we

Bless the Lord, O my soul ; 

And all that is within me, bless his holy name.

And forget not all his benefits ; 

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, 
Who healeth all thy diseases ;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things ; 
So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

And judgments for all that are oppressed.

Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 

He will not always chide ; 

Neither will he keep his anger forever. 

He hath not dealt with us after our sins, 
Nor rewarded us after our iniquities. 

For as the heaven is high above the earth, 

So great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 

As far as the east is from the west, 

So far hath he removed our transgressions from us. 

Like as a father pitieth his children, 
So the Lord pitieth them that fear him. 

For he knoweth our frame ; 

He remembereth that we are dust. 

As for man, his days are as grass ; 

As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone ; 

And the place thereof shall know it no more. 

But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting 
upon them that fear him, 

And his righteousness unto children's children. 
To such as keep his covenant, 

And to those that remember his precepts to do them.

If I take the wings of the morning, 
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea ; 

Even there shall thy hand lead me, 

And thy right hand shall hold me.

But the night shineth as the day;

For he is thy life and the length of thy days. — Deuteronomy 30 : 19, 20.

And he spake also this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they

Two men went up into the temple to pray ; the one a Pharisee, and the other a 

publican. 

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 

God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adul- 
terers, or even as this publican. 

I fast twice in the week ; I give tithes of all that I get. 

But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto 
heaven, 

But smote his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 

I say unto you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other. 

For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled ; but he that humbleth him-

According to the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. 

Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, 

And cleanse me from my sin. 
For I acknowledge my transgressions ; 
And my sin is ever before me. 

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, 

And done that which is evil in thy sight. 
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts : 
And in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean ; 

Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 
Hide thy face from my sins, 
And blot out all mine iniquities. 

Create in me a clean heart, 0 God ; 

And renew a right spirit within me. 
Cast me not away from thy presence : 
And take not thy holy spirit from me. 

0 Lord, open thou my lips : 

And my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain :

And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 

Blessed are the poor in spirit : for their' s is the kingdom of heaven. 
Blessed are they that mourn : for they shall be comforted. 

Blessed are the meek : for they shall inherit the earth. 
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness : for they shall be filled. 

Blessed are the merciful : for they shall obtain mercy. 
Blessed are the pure in heart : for they shall see God. 

Blessed are the peacemakers : for they shall be called sons of God. 
Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness' sake : for theirs is 
the kingdom of heaven. 

Blessed are ye, when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all man- 
ner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 
Rejoice and be exceeding glad : for great is your reward in heaven : for so perse- 
cuted they the prophets which were before you. 

Ye are the salt of the earth : but if the salt have lost its savour, wherewith 

shall it be salted ? 

It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and trodden under foot of men. 

Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 
Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand ; and it 
shineth unto all that are in the house. 

Even so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and 

glorify your Father which is in heaven. 
Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets : I came not to destroy, 
but to fulfil. 

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle 
shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.

And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country ; and he 

began to be in want. 

And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country ; and he 
sent him into his fields to feed swine. 

And he would fain have been filled with the husks, that the swine did eat. And 

no man gave unto him. 

But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father's 
have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger ! 

I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, 
Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight; I am no more worthy to 
be called thy son : make me as one of thy hired servants. 

And he arose, and came to his father. 
But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, 
and ran. and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 

And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy 

sight. I am no more worthy to be called thy son.

But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it 
on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; 

And bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and make merry : 

For this my son was dead, and is alive again ; he was lost, and is found. And they 
began to be merry. 

Now his elder son was in the field : and as he came and drew nigh to the house he 
heard music and dancing. 

And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might 
be. 

And he said unto him, Thy brother is come ; and thy father hath killed the 
fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. 

But he was angry, and would not go in ; 
And his father came out, and entreated him. 

But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many many years do I serve 

thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine : 
And yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends ; 

But when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou 

killedst for him the fatted calf. 
And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine. 

But it was meet to make merry, and be glad ; for this thy brother was dead,

And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, 

Behold the sower went forth to sow : and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way 
side, and the birds came and devoured them. 

And others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth : 
And straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth : 

And when the sun was risen, they were scorched ; and because they had no root, 

they withered away. 
And others fell upon the thorns ; and the thorns grew up, and choked them ; 

And others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some 

sixty, some thirty. 
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. — Matthew ij: i-g.

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, 

Then cometh the evil one, and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his

This is he that was sown by the way side. 

And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, 

and straightway with joy receiveth it ; 
Yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while ; and when tribulation or 
persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth. 

And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word ;

(Parables of the Ten Virgins and the Talents.) 

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their 
lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 

And five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 
For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them ; but the wise 
took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 

Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 
But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom ! Come ye forth to meet 
him. 

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil ; for our lamps are going 
out. 

But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and 
you : go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 

And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came ; and they that were ready 
went in with him to the marriage feast : and the door was shut. 

Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 

Watch, therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour when your Lord cometh. 
For the kingdom of heaven is as when a man, going into another country, called 
his own servants and delivered unto them his goods. 

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; 
To each according to his several ability ; and he went on his journey. 

Straightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and 

made other five talents. 
In like manner he also that received the two gained another two. 

But he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's 

money. 

Now after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning 
with them. 

And he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents saying, 
Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents : lo, I have gained other five talents. 

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been 
faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things ; enter thou into the 
joy of thy lord. 

And he also that received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst 
unto me two talents ; lo, I have gained other two talents. 

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been 
faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things ; enter thou into the joy 
of thy lord. 

And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee 
that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering 
where thou didst not scatter; and I was afraid, and went away and hid thy 
talent in the earth ; lo, thou hast thine own. 

But his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou 
knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter ; 

Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming 

I should have received back mine own with interest. 

Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten 
talents. 

For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance ; but 
from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away. 

And cast ye out the unprofitable servant unto the outer darkness ; there shall be 
the weeping and gnashing of teeth. — Matthew 25 : i-jo.

THIRTY-SECOND SERVICE. 

(Selections from the sayings of Jesus recorded in St. Matthew's Gospel.) 

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then 
shall he sit on the throne of his glory : 

And before him shall be gathered all the nations ; and he shall separate them one 

from another, as the Shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats : 
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, 
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the 
foundation of the world. 

For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink ; 

I was a stranger, and ye took me in ; 
Naked, and ye clothed me ; I was sick, and ye visited me ; I was in prison, and ye 
came unto me. 

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee, an hun- 
gered, and fed thee ? or athirst, and gave thee drink ? 

And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in ? or naked, and clothed thee ? 

And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee ? 

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch 
as ye did it unto one of these, my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me. — 

Matthew 25 : 31—40. 

And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water 
only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his 
reward. — Matthew 10 : 42. 

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me ; for I am meek and lowly of heart, and 
ye shall find rest unto your souls. 

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. — Matthew n : 28-30. 
In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the 
kingdom of heaven ? 

And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them, and 

said,

enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the 

greatest in the kingdom of heaven. — Matthew 18 : 1-4. 

Whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant.

THIRTY-THIRD SERVICE. 

(Selections from the sayings of Jesus recorded in St. Mark's Gospel.) 

And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast 
money into the treasury: 

And many that were rich cast in much. And there came a poor widow, and she 

cast in two mites, which make a farthing. 
And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, 
This poor widow cast in more than all they who are casting into the treasury. 

For they all did cast in of their superfluity ; but she of her want did cast in all 

that she had, even all her living. — Mark 12 : 41-44. 
And one of the scribes came and asked him, What commandment is the first of 
all? 

Jesus answered and said unto them, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy 
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. 
This is the great and first commandment. 

The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other 
commandment greater than these. — Mark 12: 28-31. 

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation ; the spirit indeed is willing, 

but the flesh is weak. — Mark 14: 38. 
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 

Take ye heed, watch and pray ; for ye know not when the time is. 
It is as when a man, sojourning in another country, having left his house, and given 
authority to his servants, to each one his work, commanded also the porter to 
watch. 

Watch therefore, for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whether at 
even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning; 

Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto 
_all, Watch. — Mark 73 : 31-37.

To whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required ; and to whom they 

commit much, of him will they ask the more. — Luke 12 : 48. 
The kingdom of God cometh not with observation ; neither shall they say, Lo, here ! 
or Lo, there ! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. — Luke 17 : 20-21. 

And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God ? It is like unto 

leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till it was

He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much ; and he that is unright- 
eous in a very little is unrighteous also in much. — Luke 16 : 10. 

And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and 

take up his cross daily and follow me. 
For whosoever would save his life shall lose it ; but whosoever shall lose his life 
for my sake, the same shall save it. 

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit 

his own self ? — Luke g: 23-23. 
And he said unto his disciples, It is impossible but that occasions of stumbling 
should come ; but woe unto him through whom they come ! 

It were well for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown 

into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble. 
Take heed to yourselves ; if thy brother sin, rebuke him ; and if he repent, forgive 
him. 

And if he sin against thee seven times in the day, and seven times turn again 
to thee, saying, I repent ; thou shalt forgive him. — Luke 17 : 1-4. 

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings ? And not one of them is forgotten

Behold the ships also, though they are so great, and are driven by rough winds, 
Are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steers-

So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how 
much wood is kindled by how small a fire ! 

And the tongue is a fire ; the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, 

Which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set 
on fire by hell. 

For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things, and things in the sea, is 
tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind. 
But the tongue can no man tame ; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison.

GRANT, O God, now that we have entered on another year, that, for the sake 
of the truth, and for the sake of holiness, we may lift ourselves up to a higher 
life. May we be called to act from nobler motives. May we endeavor to take a 
clearer and truer conception of duty. And may we, for Christ's sake, and for the 
sake of his cause, consecrate ourselves afresh to thee. All our courage will be in

and we shall be surprised and destroyed if thou art not vigilant for us, and thy 
grace is not exercised in our behalf. 

We beseech thee to grant to every one in thy presence that blessing which 
cannot be mistaken ; that voice which can come only from him that speaketh to 
the inmost consciousness. Grant to every one the incoming of thy hoiy Spirit. May 
every one in thy presence to-day feel that he has been the guest of God himself, 
and grant that all our offerings of song, and prayer, and meditation, and instruc- 
tion on this occasion may be acceptable in thy sight and profitable to us. We ask 
it through Jesus the Redeemer. Amen. E. 



WE come before thee, our heavenly Father, this the first Sunday of our new 
term, with the memories of the vacation that has just closed fresh in the minds 
of all of us. Help us in this hour of thoughtfulness to open our hearts in gratitude 
to thee for all its happy memories, and for the relish it has given us for the work 
of the new term. Our lot is indeed a happy one, for the best that there is in life 
is freely open to us, if we will but reach out and take it. We pray for more than 
gratitude for what has thus far come into our lives. We especially pray for such 
an appreciation of all that is opening to us as shall call into life and then into 
action the best instincts of the strong, the generous, and the aspiring boyhood and 
young manhood of this school. Help those who are before thee to-day to sur- 
render wholly to their convictions and to be strong enough to pledge themselves to 
stand loyally by them. We ask not so much for wisdom to know what to do, as 
for the will and the power to do with vigor the plain every-day duties of life. We 
who are made in the image of God ought to cover our faces in shame that it should 
cost solemn resolution and constant struggle to save ourselves from debasing 
tendencies when it is possible for us to become worthy sons of God. Help the 
boys of this school, then, to begin this term with a solemn pledge before God 
never to lose sight of their weaknesses, their appetites, their passions and their 
temptations, and not to lose heart in fighting against them, and never for a moment 
to think of traitorously surrendering to them. Give those that struggle almost in 
despair the courage of despair, and give to them and to all of us each day such

Prayers 



victory over weakness and temptation as shall fill us with the courage and the 
strength that shall make easy the victory of to-morrow, until finally we may begin 
our daily work so strong in purpose and in right living that no temptation may 
surprise and turn aside or overthrow us. Amen. R. 

WE thank thee, our heavenly Father, for the vacation that has just closed and 
for the term that is just opening. Help us as we remember with pleasure and 
gratitude all the happiness the vacation brought us, to begin the new term not only 
mindful of what the records we are making while away from home mean to our 
homes and to our futures, but filled with determination to take home with us for 
our next vacation better and cleaner records than we have ever yet made. Keep 
us always sensitively mindful also of evidences of concern felt by those who love 
us best, lest in our thoughtlessness and immaturity we may lose our footing in the 
midst of temptation and so make a shipwreck of life as others have done, and 
as an anchor in time of temptation, as a strong support in time of weakness, help 
us all the time to keep before us expressions of abiding faith that after all we were 
sure to prove strong and come out sons worthy of the trust placed in us. And as 
a further protection against our weaknesses, help us to remember that we are in 
the magnificent vigor of youth and opening manhood and are taking on the physi- 
cal and the moral stamina and nerve, or the pitiful flabbiness of character that is 
to >become a part of us in our maturity, when we shall have to take upon ourselves 
the responsibilities and burdens that our fathers are carrying and have so long car- 
ried , and so when we come to seek for let-ups from the routine of school life which 
every now and then chafes, we pray that we may not slip, as it is so easy for us 
to do and as we are sometimes tempted to do, into shameful let-downs, but that 
the inspiring possibilities of a clean and vigorous youth devoted in all earnestness 
to preparation for a useful manhood may prevail. 

And now as we acknowledge our weakness and cowardice in having some- 
times followed unworthy leadership, help us to a better courage and to the silent 
resolution that even if our influence may not be strong and inspiriting it shall yet 
stand in the records of the school for square, sturdy, and clean living. Amen. R. 

WE thank thee this morning, our heavenly Father, for thy patience with us, for 
thy gentleness. We are ashamed of our forgetfulness and of our weakness, 
when we do not forget. To will is often present, but how to do we know not. We 
are ignorant, but the things even which we know, we do not do ; the things that are 
good we do not realize, and the things that are evil we do, and we exceedingly need 
thy forbearance, thy grace, thy sustaining help. May we be able this day to take 
hold of thy promises, for thou hast declared that, if we do, thou wilt abide with us . 
that thou wilt never leave nor forsake us. Forget us not, our Father, neither leave 
us in our sins, nor forsake us in our iniquities, but draw us to thee with sweet for- 
giveness. Our chastisements have been fewer than our sins, and when thou hast 
mingled bitterness in our cup thou hast still forborne ; thou hast watched our need, 
ever taking counsel of the generosity of thine own heart — thou hast dealt according 



Prayers 



59 



to the measure that was in thee, and not according to the measure of desert in us. 
Continue to deal patiently and persuasively with us throughout our mortal life 
and so fit us for the life that is to come. Amen. B. 



WE rejoice to-day, our Father in heaven, to find thee on every side of us. We 
rejoice that we have such a friend, so gentle, so patient, so persevering. And 
this is the wound and the shame of our sin, that it is a disobedient and an unwilling 
service of one so gracious and so full of all noble excellence. We are ashamed when 
we think how little we have requited thy love with our love ; thy reasonable com- 
mand with our filial obedience ; we have sought each one his own way ; we have 
had our own will and purpose aside from thine and contradicting thine. O Lord, 
we are unworthy of thy name or of thy favor : we only plead thy grace, saying, God 
be merciful to us sinners. 

And now thou hast completed the mercies and the history of another year. 
We would call upon our souls and all that is within us to bless and praise thy name 
for the goodness of the year that is gone. Our record of it may have been of 
sin ; our record of resolutions broken ; our record of time misspent, of powers not 
legitimately used but turned aside against our secret convictions, against our 
own consciences. If we look only to the year as we have marked it, it is not a 
year to be remembered nor sighed after as something to be brought back again ; 
but when we look at thy way with us, it is a year robed in mercy, growing with 
every day, and waning not one single hour. 

We thank thee, then, for the ministration of the year. It has passed and 
gone to the judgment, and hangs there waiting our coming — a record that we 
must yet again know and read. And now we beseech of thee, to take charge of 
us for the year upon which we are about to enter. We are strangers to it ; we do 
not know one single path, and without thy guidance we are sure to go astray. Let 
us trust in thee and rest in thee. Amen. B. 



AS the years go by, and as the signs and tokens of departure come to us, may 
we be more earnest for the things that do not perish, and less and less held by 
the things that do. Help us in all things to be steadfast, immovable ; though others 
reel to and fro, may we stand in thy strength. Though others are confused and 
perplexed, may we abide in peace beneath the shadow of thy wings. 

Grant unto us, in these hours of the year so soon to close, such suitable 
meditations as shall make us better fitted for the year that is advancing to 
us. May we seek more earnestly the things that are high, and worthy of us, and 
less and less the things that perish in the using, and may thy word give us instruc- 
tion. We pray that its wisdom and experience may become our wisdom and ex- 
perience, and that in it we may abide as in a fortress. 

Grant, O Lord, thy blessing upon the young that are before thee ; help them 
to live stronger lives. Deliver them from every enemy that threatens them from 
without, but more from the enemies that are within their own hearts ; from the 



60 



rayers 



evils by which they are surrounded ; from deceitful temptations ; from all guile 
that would spoil their simplicity. Deliver them from everything that tends to destroy 
the nobility of christian manhood; may they prove all things, and hold fast the 
things that are good. 

Grant, we pray thee, that with the expiring year faults may expire, on the right 
hand and on the left ; and in the coming year may there be a new record of right- 
eousness. May thy kingdom come, and thy will be done, upon earth as it is done 
in heaven. We ask it in the name of Jesus, our master. Amen. B. 



WE thank thee, O Lord, for the strength of purpose and of character that there 
is in this school, and for the helpful influences that flow from the example of 
those who have the courage to be true to what they believe to be right. We thank 
thee for those who are clean in thought, in word and in deed, and for the clear, the 
healthful and the invigorating atmosphere that their presence brings to the school. 
Bless, we pray thee, all who are leading such clean and helpful lives, add to their 
courage and strength such attractive simplicity of life that their spirit, their earnest- 
ness of purpose and their trueness shall so appeal to the best and strongest im- 
pulses of youth as to become the accepted standards of the school. 

But if there are any in thy presence here to-day, our heavenly Father, who 
are in slippery places, who are wandering from rectitude, surround them by thy 
good spirit and reclaim them. If any are beginning to step aside, thou seest it, 
though no other eye in the universe knows it. Throw thine arm of protection 
around them at the beginning of evil and turn them back instantly, and give them 
a firm determination to do evil no more. If there are any who are going down 
apace in the evil way and are nearly helpless and hopeless, rescue them. 

And if there are others that are driven hither and thither, that come almost to the 
port of peace, and then with contrary winds are driven off again, wilt thou, O Lord, 
rise and let them know that thou art in. the ship and wilt pilot it safe into the harbor. 
And to thy name shall be the praise, Father, Son, and Spirit. Amen. R.-B. 

WE thank thee, O Lord, that thou hast brought forth the morning light and 
poured it round about us upon this day of rest. Now grant that we may have 
not only that pervading light in which we stand bodily, but more that joyful and 
peaceful light by which thou dost shine into the soul — thine own spirit. But why 
should we ask for further blessings when thou art doing exceeding abundantly 
more than we ask or think ; for when we ask for temporal mercies, thou givest, in 
addition, spiritual mercies ; and as on earth when they brought unto thee the sick 
and the lame and the blind, thou didst heal them and then forgive them their sins, 
blessing them in their spirit and in their body ; so when we ask of thee for divine 
kindnesses, thou art wont to fulfill our petitions, both in the substance and in the 
spirit, and yet we still come asking, for we still feel our dependence and our need 
of guidance. And now we pray that thou wilt show us the way to manhood, and 
open the door thereat and permit us to walk in thither and to walk in the way built 
of God, toward honor, glory and immortality, and in our strife help us to be patient,

to be humble before thee, but to be courageous before men and courageous before 
temptation, and having fought a good fight admit us finally to our home in heaven, 
we ask for Christ's sake. Amen. B. 

WE come before thee this morning, our heavenly Father, conscious of our un- 
worthiness of thy care ; we know we do in the best things soil our conduct, 
and oftentimes sin entirely : we confess our transgressions before thee, that we 
may be healed. Deliver us from feigned confession. May we, from the heart, re- 
count before thee our unworthiness ; and may we desire, and by faith accept the 
forgiveness of our sins — for thou needest not to be persuaded ; thou dost not stand 
reluctant and grant this as the extreme boon, but thou art persuading us to per- 
suade thee. We pray that thou wilt humble us, that we may not think ourselves 
to be better than we are. If there are any that have found themselves walking in 
slippery places, and even have fallen, have mercy upon them. And we beseech 
thee that none may make themselves castaways because they have stumbled and 
because they have gone wrong. Watch over them in their peril. Do not forget 
them as they forget thee. 

Remember all that are in thy presence and especially the young. Bless, we 
beseech thee, those that are emerging from youth into manhood. We pray that 
they may not be tempted more than they can bear, but may they walk from youth 
to manhood with honor unclouded, consecrating the morning of life to virtue and 
religion, and we will give the praise to Father, Son, and Spirit. Amen. B. 

OUR Father, do we not need to draw near to thee as suppliants to persuade 
thee ; thy compassion is over all the works of thy hands. Thy heart breathes 
forth goodness and mercy — and this is thy nature. We come before thee to-day 
to confess our unworthiness, and our consciousness of it ; to make known to thee 
our sense of thy goodness to us individually ; and to give thee thanks. In the days 
gone by thou hast been more to us than thou hast promised. Thou hast done ex- 
ceeding above all that we asked or thought or deserved. We desire to confess, O 
Lord, that we have not lived according to our promises, nor according to the 
thoughts and intents of our hearts. We have felt the gravitation of things that 
draw us downward from things high and holy. We have followed right things how 
feebly ! Weak are we to resist the attraction of evil that lurks about the way of good- 
ness. We behold and approve thy law, but find it hard to obey ; and our obe- 
dience is of the outside, and not of the soul and of the spirit, with heartiness and 
full of certainty. We rejoice that thou art a Teacher patient with thy pupils. 

And now we beseech of thee to lift before us the picture of what we should be 
and what we should do, and maintain it in the light that we may not rub it out in 
forgetfulness. 

Help thou, O Lord, all those who are seeking to maintain their fidelity under 
trouble and difficulty and temptation. May they not be vanquished by their weak- 
nesses, but upheld by thy saving spirit, for Christ's sake. Amen. B. 

OUR heavenly Father, we come not to make known our wants, as if thou need- 
est that we should inform thee, but to express our gladness, to utter thanksgiv- 
ing, to make confession of sin and supplication.

Prayers 



And now we pray that thou wilt help those in thy presence that are striving 
against their easily besetting sins. Do thou, O God, by thy grace, stir us up with 
new thoughts of duty, with new desires of holiness. We understand better than 
we practice; we discern what we should be; we see where excellencies are, but, 
alas ! the passions which we cannot ford, O Lord, grant unto us, not only the 
power of discernment, but the power also that will enable us to overcome. May 
we know how to fulfil the duties that are put successively upon us : know how 
to avail ourselves of thy strength, for our experience now is more that without thee 
we can do nothing. Deliver us from the temptations that so easily surround us. 
Grant that every one of us may gird up his loins, and with all diligence, with all 
fidelity, and with all truth we may walk exemplifying the spirit of Christ. 

Remember those that are young. Grant, we beseech thee, a prosperous voy- 
age to every one of them toward manhood. We pray that they may not be cast 
away, nor sink, nor be misled, nor captured by piratical passion. Deliver them 
from the evil which is in the world. May they be shielded in the household : may 
they be shielded in their own souls by the workings of thy Spirit. May their faith 
never fail, nor their fidelity cease, for Christ's sake. Amen. B. 

THOU art a very present help in time of trouble, O thou that art the salvation 
of the earth and the Saviour of men, therefore will we put our trust in thee. 
Suffer us not to be overborne nor tempted beyond that which we are able to bear. 
Open up to us a door of escape ; lead us forth out of our sins and out of our trans- 
gressions. We pray that thou wilt remember every one before thee in his special 
and common wants. Look upon those here before thee that are growing up into 
life and are now beginning to take hold of manhood. O let them make no fatal 
missteps, lest they be dashed in pieces from the very beginning : let them not lis- 
ten to false teachings : especially may they not listen to their guilty passions, or be 
misled as to faith and truth by the suggestions of corrupt hearts ; but may they 
from the morning of life be consecrated in all truth and honor to the cause of 
Christ. 

Bless us in our association one with another : may we have more and more 
noble conceptions of the relations of friendship and companionship ; may we every 
day cleanse and purify ourselves from all the vulgarities, from all the selfishness, 
and from all the meanness to which we are liable in our daily lives. May we get 
higher conceptions than those which we now have of duty one toward another, 
more nobility of purpose, more and more heroism of conception, more and 
more manliness of life. And all the glory of this victory we will give to the Fath- 
er, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. B. 

OUR Father, we beseech of thee, add the blessing of thy spirit to the word that 
is to be spoken to-day, and grant that it may not be in vain that it is spoken. 
May we search our hearts and our motives. May we examine everything that is 
active within us, to know whether it is in the way of right, and duty, and purity, and 
whether it is tending upward toward God, or whether it is tending downward, and 
growing stronger in selfishness, and pride, and wickedness. O that we may hasten

by repentance and reformation, to escape from the love of sin, from the power 
of sin, from the results of sin, and from sin itself. 

Grant that all in thy presence, and especially the young who are in great 
peril, may come face to face with their danger. O make them feel what is the 
blessedness of purity, and virtue, and faithfulness. Make them to fear the awful- 
ness of temptation and sin, and to flee from them and lay hold on thee. Hear 
these our petitions, and answer them, for Christ's sake. Amen. B. 

OUR Father, wilt thou add thy blessing to the word that is to be spoken. 
Grant that it may do good to us all. May it encourage us to undertake a re- 
lease from evil. May it encourage us to undertake the assailing of bad habits long 
formed. May we not be discouraged because the labor of the way before us is so 
great, or because of past failure. Grant thou divine light and warmth, thou Sun 
of Righteousness, that thy beams may shine with cheer and nutriment upon all that 
are here today. May those who are discouraged in the way and are lagging, be 
gathered up, and begin to work again with new zeal. If any are struggling with 
themselves at times like mariners overblown of storms and seemingly about to go 
down ; if any are struggling to overcome old habits that are bad, to staunch cor- 
rupt inclinations, to put down all wicked tendencies ; may they be led to throw 
themselves into the arms of Christ. And may there be no day in which we are 
not all of us victorious over some temptation, over some evil ; no day in which we 
are not heroic in some endurance or achievement. And when all our worldly ex- 
periences end, and our history closes here, may it open with grace and glory in 
heaven, there to go on unto perfection : and to thy name shall be praise, Father, 
Son, and Spirit. Amen. B. 

OGod, who hast ordained that whatever is to be desired, should be sought by 
labor, and who, by thy blessing, bringest honest labor to good effect, look with 
favor upon all our efforts. Teach us how to chasten selfishness, how to humble 
pride, how to restrain every wayward and vicious inclination, everything that of- 
fends against the purity of our souls or the peace and happiness of our fellows. 
Strengthen us against temptation, against those temptations that are peculiar to each 
of us, for thou best knowest where the adversary most easily forces our defences. 
And above all, strengthen, O Lord, all that is good within us and teach us how to 
put it forth. May life become more and more real, obligation more and more 
binding, and kindness and love more and more sacred. May there be more and 
more of God in our daily lives, and so may we walk never forsaking thee, never 
forsaking duty, never seemingly far off from heaven, never so far off but that we 
can feel its blessed influences. And in all things grant us, O Lord, to design only 
what is right and helpful, and give us calmness of mind and steadiness of purpose, 
that we may so do thy will in this short life as to obtain happiness in the world 
to come, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. B. 

OLord, our heavenly Father, when we think of the beauty of thy character and 
the imperfections of our own, of how we so constantly fall below even our dull 
and loose conceptions of duty and loveliness, we begin to feel the presumption of

coming to thee and calling thee Father and ourselves thy children. And yet we 
come with confidence because thou hast asked us to come, and we have the promise 
that though our sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they be 
red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Let thy cleansing power begin its work 
upon us to-day — not alone by making us sorry for our oft- repeated sins, sins that 
are fresh in our minds at this moment, but much more by giving us the courage to 
resist and the strength to overcome. We are filled with discouragement when we 
awaken to the consciousness that the demand of the hour, the temptation, the in- 
dulgence of the moment, so many times obscures or hides away the ideals of life 
that we try to keep before us, and that we sometimes feel drawing us toward bet- 
ter things. Fix in us then our fleeting conception of the strength and attractive- 
ness of beauty of life and character, until it shall be to us a daily and a controlling 
motive. And help us, the more we become conscious of our weaknesses, the more 
solemnly to resolve anew that we will never give up the struggle until we come off 
victorious. Amen. R. 



WE thank thee, our heavenly Father, for this day of rest and quiet, and for the 
opportunity and impulse it gives us to lay aside our usual work, and our 
usual habits of thought, and question whether we are so living as best to do the 
work given us to do, and fit us for the life that is to come ; and now, while thanking 
thee for its blessings and opportunities, we confess with shame that the day has 
sometimes hung heavily upon our hands. We have been unmindful, as we so often 
are in other things, of thy exceeding consideration in giving us six of the seven days 
of the week in which the chief service that thou askest of us is to do honestly, faith- 
fully, and cheerfully, the daily work that comes to us and which, when well done, 
best promotes the selfish interests and enjoyments of this life. We pray then 
that we may come willing to give weekly to thee this one day in seven, and that the 
glimpses that we have sometimes had of the beauty of noble living, may to-day 
become a clear beckoning vision. And we pray that the impulse we have some- 
times felt toward lives of unselfish devotion, may become a moving power that 
shall never leave us ; and that the divine that there is in us may so take pos- 
session of our hearts and so control our lives during all our Sundays, that it may 
finally come to dwell daily with us, until we joyfully follow its gentle and persua- 
sive influence. Amen. R. 



EASTER 

WE thank thee, our heavenly Father, for this day that celebrates Christ's victory 
over death and the grave, and yearly renews in us the hope of immortality. 
But for its promise we should stand beside the grave dumb in despair, while now 
we look beyond and see this mortal clothed in immortality. But as we sit in the 
joyful sunshine of this resurrection day, save us from the danger of a false security. 
Keep us still mindful of our weaknesses in times of temptation, and of our many 
and shameful surrenders to temptation, and also mindful that he only shall ascend 
into the hill of the Lord, and stand in the holy place, who hath clean hands and a

pure heart. Make clean our hands and purify our hearts, and then let thy saving 
spirit confirm in us the good impulses that hope in the future stirs in us to-day. 
Make this day to be indeed a day of resurrections. We pray thee that, as Christ burst 
asunder the bonds of the grave and gave us the victory over death, so may we shake 
off and leave behind us in the grave of the past, the sins that have clung to us and 
dragged us down, and may we too rise up and walk forth with lighter and freer 
steps and cleaner hearts, into the pure and wholesome air of right living. Give 
us the courage to put our good impulses into resolutions, so thoughtfully made, and 
with such convictions, that we may be kept from looking back. And lest by reason 
of our habitual weakness, we may be tempted beyond what, without thy help, we 
could not bear ; come to us every day as the day opens ; walk with us and keep 
us strong as it advances, and bring us to its close victorious over every weakness, 
and so be with us all our days, and fit us for the happy and glorious immortality that 
is the promise of this resurrection day. Amen. R. 

ALMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from 
whom no secrets are hid, who of thy great mercy hath promised forgiveness 
of sins to all those who, with hearty repentance and true faith, turn unto thee ; have 
mercy upon us ; cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy holy 
spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy name ; pardon 
and deliver us from all our sins ; confirm and strengthen us in all goodness ; and 
bring us to everlasting life ; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. 

ALMIGHTY God, Father of all mercies, we thine unworthy servants, do give 
thee most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness and loving kindness 
to us, and to all men. We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the 
blessings of this life ; but above all for thine inestimable love in the redemption of 
the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of 
glory. And, we beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, that our 
hearts may be unfeignedly thankful, and that we may show forth thy praise, not 
only with our lips, but in our lives ; by giving up ourselves to thy service, and by 
walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days ; through Jesus 
Christ, our Lord. Amen. 

GRANT, O Lord, that we may carefully watch over our tempers and every unholy 
feeling ; remove whatever in us may be a stumbling-block in another's way ; 
that, by conforming to thy will in small things we may hope, by thy protection and 
help, to pass safely through the greater dangers and trials to which we may be ex- 
posed. Be thou the strength of this life, be thou, we entreat thee, our strength 
unto life eternal ; our strength when temptation assails us, for thou art stronger than 
our strongest enemy ; our strength when we go down into the valley of the shadow 
of death, for the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. By thy rod and thy 
staff comfort us. Amen. Christina C. Rossetti.

Prayers 



THE day returns and brings us the petty round of irritating concerns and duties. 
Help us to play the man ; help us to perform them, with laughter and kind 
faces ; let cheerfulness abound with industry. Give us to go blithely on our 
business all this day, bring us to our resting beds, weary, and content, and undis- 
honored, and grant us in the end the gift of sleep. Amen. 

Robert Louis Stevenson. 

OGOD, who knowest us to be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, 
that by reason of the frailty of our nature we cannot always stand upright, grant 
to us such strength of protection as may support us in all dangers, and carry us 
through all temptations ; grant unto us the spirit to think and do always such things 
as are right, that we who cannot do anything that is good without thee, may by thee 
be enabled to live according to thy will. And pour down upon us the abundance of 
thy mercy ; forgiving us those things whereof our conscience is afraid, and giving 
us those good things which we are not worthy to ask, but through the merits and 
mediation of Jesus Christ, thy son, our Lord, Amen. 

OLORD, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, who hast safely 
brought us to the beginning of this day, defend us in the same by thy mighty 
power ; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of 
danger, but that all our doings being ordered by thy governance, may be righteous 
in thy sight. Keep us, we beseech thee, under the protection of thy good providence, 
and make us to have a perpetual fear and love of thy holy name. Increase and 
multiply upon us thy mercy ; that, thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass 
through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal. Grant this, O 
heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ's sake, our Lord. Amen. 

ALMIGHTY God have mercy upon us, who, when troubled with the things that 
are past, lose faith, and life, and courage, and hope. So have mercy upon us, 
and uphold us, that we, being sustained by a true faith that thou art merciful and for- 
giving, may go on in the life of the future, to keep thy commandments, to trust in 
thy mercy, and to hope in the eternal life. Grant unto all of us, whatsoever may 
come to us, to remember always that it is all of thy guidance, under thy care, by thy 
will ; that so, beholding thee, we may have courage to go on, even unto the end. 
Amen. George Dawson. 

WE beseech thee, O Lord, to behold us this day with thy favor. Be patient 
still ; suffer us yet a while longer — with our broken purposes of good, with 
our idle endeavors against evil, suffer us a while longer to endure and (if it may be) 
help us to do better. Bless to us our extraordinary mercies ; if the day come when 
those must be taken, brace us to play the man under affliction. Be with our friends, 
be with ourselves. Go with each of us to rest ; and when the day returns, return 
to us, our sun and comforter, and call us up with morning faces and with morning 
hearts, eager to labor, eager to be happy, if happiness shall be our portion — and 
if our days are to be marked for sorrow, make us strong to endure it. Amen. 

Robert Louis Stevenson.

O ETERNAL Wisdom, grant us the light of thy holy spirit, that we may know 
what thou wouldest have us do ; make us willing to offer ourselves entirely to 
thee, to do with us what seemeth good in thy sight. Do thou who givest us the will, 
give us also the power to accomplish it. Correct whatsoever thou seest amiss in us, 
strengthen our weak resolutions, restrain our wayward desires ; remove all hind- 
rances to the fulfilment of thy will, and give us grace so to follow the leadings of 
thy providence, that our lives may be spent to thy honor and glory, in whatsoever 
way it pleases thee. Amen. Treasury of Devotion. 

OGOD, who hast commanded that no man should be idle, give us grace to 
employ all our talents and faculties in the service appointed for us; that, 
whatever our hand findeth to do, we may do it with our might. Cheerfully may we 
go on in the road which thou hast marked out, not desiring too earnestly that it should 
be either more smooth or more wide ; but, daily seeking our way by thy light, may 
we trust ourselves and the issue of our journey, to thee the fountain of joy, and 
sing songs of praise as we go along. Then, O Lord, receive us at the gate of life, 
which thou hast opened for us in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

Martineau's Common Prayer for Christian Worship. 

REST upon us, O spirit of love, and chase all anger, envy, and bitter grudges 
from our souls. Be our strength in the hour of weakness, and help us to control 
the desires of the flesh. Let us grow in faith and love, in hope, patience, and 
humility. See by how many temptations we are surrounded, and preserve us from 
giving way to them ; show us the path wherein we should tread, for if we trust to 
our own impulses we shall go astray ; but if thou lead us we shall run in the way 
of thy commandments. Our hearts lie open before thee ; enter them now with thy 
rich gifts, and strengthen them, dwell in them and make them thy temple; so shall 
we have the pledge of our sonship, and of our salvation. Amen. 

J. F. Stark (i 680-1 756). 

OGOD, the light of every heart that sees thee, the life of every soul that loves 
thee, the strength of every mind that seeks thee, grant us ever to continue 
steadfast in thy holy love. Be thou the joy of our hearts, take them all to thyself, 
and therein abide. The house of our souls is, we know, too narrow for thee ; do 
thou enlarge it, that thou mayest enter in ; it is ruinous, but do thou repair it. It 
has that within which must offend thine eyes. We confess, and know it ; but whose 
help shall we implore in cleansing it, but thine alone ? To thee, therefore, we cry 
urgently, begging that thou wilt cleanse us from our secret faults, and keep thy 
servants from presumptuous sins, that they may never get dominion over us. 
Amen. St. Augustine (354-430). 

ALMIGHTY God, who art over all things, life of all life, stir in our souls, that 
we, being moved by thy spirit, may see those things which are fairest and 
truest in life, and clinging unto them, be enabled to get the victory over that which

is mean and base ; that so at last, all evil passion and unholy desire, all self-will 
and contrariness to thee, may be overcome, and we come at last to that trusting 
state of willing obedience, when thy will shall be in us supreme. Of thy mercy hear 
us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. George Dawson. 

BLESSED are all they who have traveled over the tempestuous sea of mortality, 
and have at last made the desired port of peace and felicity. Oh, cast a 
gracious eye upon us who are still in our dangerous voyage. Remember and succor 
us in our distress, and think on them that lie exposed to the rough storm of troubles 
and temptations. Strengthen our weakness, that we may do valiantly in this spirit- 
ual war ; help us against our own negligence and cowardice, and defend us from 
the treachery of our unfaithful hearts. We are exceedingly frail, and indisposed to 
every virtuous and gallant undertaking. Grant, O Lord, that we may bring our 
vessel safe to shore, unto our desired haven. Amen. 

St. Augustine (354-430). 

OGOD, who hast ordained that whatever is to be desired, should be sought by 
labor, and who, by thy blessing, bringest honest labor to good effect ; look 
with mercy upon our studies and endeavors. Grant us, O Lord, to design only 
what is lawful and right ; and afford us calmness of mind, and steadiness of pur- 
pose, that we may so do thy will in this short life, as to obtain happiness in the world 
to come, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

Samuel Johnson (1 709-1 784). 

OUR heavenly Father, keep us, we beseech thee, under the protection of thy 
good providence, and make us to have continually a love of thy holy name. 
Be near at all times to direct, sanctify, and preserve. Let not evil communica- 
tions corrupt our minds, nor sinful desires prevail against our souls, but may we 
always hear thy voice, obey thy word, and live to thy glory. Amen. 

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who art always more ready to hear than we 
to pray, and art wont to give more than either we desire or deserve ; pour 
down upon us the abundance of thy mercy ; forgiving us those things whereof our 
conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to 
ask, but through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord. 
Amen. 

OGOD, the strength of all those who put their trust in thee , mercifully accept 
our prayers ; and because through the weakness of our mortal nature, we can 
do no good thing without thee, grant us the help of thy grace, that in keeping thy 
commandments we may please thee, both in will and deed ; through Jesus Christ 
our Lord. Amen. 



Prayers

ALMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from 
whom no secrets are hid ; cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration 
of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy 
name ; through Christ our Lord. Amen. 

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made, and 
dost forgive the sins of all those who are penitent ; create and make in us new 
and contrite hearts, that we worthily lamenting our sins, and acknowledging our 
wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and for- 
giveness ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

ALMIGHTY God, the refuge of all that are distressed, grant unto us that, in all 
trouble of this, our mortal life, we may flee to the knowledge of thy loving 
kindness and tender mercy ; that so sheltering ourselves therein, the storms of life 
may pass over us, and not shake the peace of God that is within us. In little daily 
duties to which thou callest us, bow down our wills to simple obedience, patience 
under provocation, strict truthfulness of word and manner, humility, and kindness. 
Whatsoever this life may bring us, grant that it may never take from us the full 
faith that thou art our Father. Grant us thy light, that we may have life, through 
Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. George Dawson. 

OLORD, give us more charity, more self-denial, more likeness to thee. Teach 
us to sacrifice our comforts to others, and our likings, for the sake of doing 
good. Make us kindly in thought, gentle in word, generous in deed. Teach 
us that it is better to give than to receive ; better to forget ourselves than to put 
ourselves forward; better to minister than to be ministered unto. And unto thee, 
the God of love, be glory and praise forever. Amen. Henry Alford. 

THOU, O Lord, who commandest us to ask, grant that we may receive ; thou 
hast asked us to seek, let us be happy in finding ; thou hast bidden us knock, 
we pray thee open unto us. Be graciously pleased to direct and govern all our 
thoughts and actions, that, for the future, we may serve thee, and devote ourselves 
to obeying thee. Accept us, we beseech thee, and draw us to thyself, that we may 
henceforth be thine by obedience and love. Even thine, O Lord, who livest and 
reignest for ever and ever. Amen. St. Augustine (354-430). 

ETERNAL God, who committest to us the swift and solemn trust of life ; since 
we know not what a day may bring forth, but only that the hour for serving 
thee is always present, may we wake to the instant claims of thy holy will ; not 
waiting for to-morrow, but yielding to-day. Lay to rest, by the persuasion of thy 
spirit, the resistance of our passion, indolence, or fear. Consecrate with thy pres- 
ence the way our feet may go ; and the humblest work will shine, and the roughest 
places be made plain. Lift us above the mean and petty things of life. Help us 
over our weaknesses. Make the spiritual in us stronger than the animal. Make

Prayers 



us better than our appetites. Give us, who are made in the image of God, and 
with an appreciation of that which is noble in life, the will to enter in upon our 
great inheritance, and to refuse to barter it away for an hour of trifling and indul- 
gence, for Christ's sake. In all things draw us to the mind of Christ, that thy lost 
image may be traced again, and thou mayest own us at one with Him and Thee. 
Amen. James Martineau. 

OLORD, our heavenly Father, we come to thee with our weakness, asking 
thee for strength. Help us always to be of good cheer. Let us not be dis- 
heartened by difficulties. Let us never doubt thy love or any of thy prom- 
ises. Give us grace to be encouragers of others, never discouragers. Let us 
not go about with sadness or fear among men, but may we be a benediction 
to every one we meet, always making life easier, never harder, for those 
who come within our influence. We beseech thee to hear us, to receive our 
prayer, and to forgive our sins, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. J. R. Miller. 



WE ask thy blessing, O Father, for this day, and for all the days that are before 
us. Give us, we pray thee, daily strength for daily needs. Come to us often in 
holy thought and reverent feelings, and thus deliver us from evil. May all that is 
beautiful lead us to thee, the infinite beauty. May all that is true lead us to thee, 
the source of all truth. In the faith of thy dear Son, may we love and serve thee 
unto our life's end. Amen. C. A. Murdock. 

ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, who of thy great mercy hath promised 
forgiveness of sins to all those who, with hearty repentance and true faith, turn 
unto thee, have mercy upon us ; pardon and deliver us from all our sins ; con- 
firm and strengthen us in all goodness ; and bring us to everlasting life ; through 
Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. 

FORGIVE us our sins, O Lord, forgive us the sins of our youth, and the sins of 
our age, the sins of our souls, and the sins of our bodies, our secret and our 
whispering sins, our presumptuous and our crying sins, the sins that we have done 
to please ourselves, and the sins that we have done to please others. Forgive us 
those sins which we know, and those sins which we know not ; forgive them, O 
Lord, forgive them all of thy great goodness. Amen. 

Private Devotions, 1560. 

GRANT us, we beseech thee, almighty and most merciful God, fervently to 
desire, wisely to search out, and faithfully to fulfil, all that is well-pleasing 
unto thee ; and, of all that thou requirest us to do, grant us the knowledge, the 
desire, and the ability, that we may so fulfil it as we ought, and may our path to 
thee, we pray, be safe, and straightforward, to the end. 

Give us, O Lord, steadfast hearts, which no unworthy affection may drag 



Prayers

downwards ; give us unconquered hearts, which no tribulation can wear out ; give 
us upright hearts, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. 

Bestow upon us also, O Lord, our God, understanding to know thee, diligence 
to seek thee, wisdom to find thee, and faithfulness that may finally embrace thee. 
Amen. St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-127 4). 

OGOD, our Father, who dost exhort us to pray, and who dost grant what we 
ask, if only, when we ask, we live a better life ; hear us, who are trembling in 
this darkness, and stretch forth thy hand unto us ; hold forth thy light before us ; 
recall us from our wanderings ; and, thou being our guide, may we be restored to 
ourselves and to thee ; through Jesus Christ. Amen. 

St. Augustine (354-430). 

OGod, we are all weakness, but thou art our strength ; we are ever anew bowed 
down by any trial, but thou canst and wiliest to lift us up. Let us not fail, O 
God, our strength ; let us not be discouraged, O God, our hope. Draw us each 
day, if it be but a little nearer unto thee ; make us each day, if it be but a little 
less unlike thee ; let us do or bear each day something, for love of thee, whereby 
we may be fitter for thee. Let no day pass without our having done something 
pleasing unto thee. Thus alone would we live, that we may live more unto thee ; 
thus would we die, longing to love thee more. Amen. C. B. Pusey. 

OUR heavenly Father, give us renewed power to overcome all our faults. Give 
us a renewed spirit of good will toward all our fellow beings. Give us more 
faith in Thee. Show us more clearly the ways and means that shall bring us 
lasting peace, happiness, and prosperity. And guide us all in the way of eternal 
fefe through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. C. R. B. 

FOR THE BEGINNING OF A NEW YEAR. 

MOST gracious God, who hast been infinitely merciful to us, not only in the 
year past, but through all the years of our life, be pleased to accept our 
thanks for thine innumerable blessings to us ; pardon the manifold sins and infirm- 
ities of our life past, and bountifully bestow upon us all those graces and virtues, 
which may render us acceptable to thee. And, every year which thou shalt be 
pleased to add to our lives, add also, we humbly implore thee, more strength to 
our faith, more ardor to our love, and a greater perfection to our obedience ; and 
grant that, in a humble sincerity and constant perseverance, we may serve thee 
most faithfully the remainder of our lives, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. 

Charles How (1661-1745).

1 Thou God of love, our guide and friend, 

Oh, lead us gently on 
Until life's trial time shall end, 
And heavenly rest be won. 

2 We know not what the path may be, 

As yet by us untrod ; 



But we can trust our all to thee, 
Our Father, and our God. 

And if some darker lot be good, 

Oh, teach us to endure 
The sorrow, pain, or solitude, 
That makes the spirit pure.

Let thy spir - it melt and break it — This proud heart of sin and stone.

Did day by day thy people feed, For each shall greet us, well we know,

1 I know not what the future hath 

Of marvel or surprise, 
Assured alone that life and death 
His mercy underlies. 

2 I dimly guess, from blessings known, 

Of greater out of sight ; 
And with the chastened Psalmist, own 
His judgments too are right. 

3 No offering of my own I have, 

Nor works my faith to prove ; 
I can but give the gifts he gave, 
And plead his love for love. 



4 And if my heart and flesh are weak 
To bear an untried pain, 
The bruised reed he will not break, 
But strengthen and sustain. 



I know not where his islands lift 
Their fronded palms in air ; 

I only know I cannot drift 
Beyond his love and care. 



6 And so beside the silent sea 
I wait the muffled oar ; 
No harm from him can come to me 
On ocean or on shore.

1 We bless thee for thy peace, O God ! 
Deep as the soundless sea, 
Which falls like sunshine on the road 
Of those who trust in thee. 



2 We ask not Father, for repose 

Which comes from outward rest, 
If we may have through all life's woes 
Thy peace within our breast. 

3 That peace which flows serene and deep 
A river in the soul, 
Whose banks a living verdure keep ; 
God's sunshine o'er the whole.

And our eyes at last shall see him, 
Through his own redeeming love 

For that Child so dear and gentle 
Is our Lord in heaven above ; 

And he leads his children on 

To the place where he is gone. 



Not in that poor lowly stable, 
With the oxen standing by, 

We shall see him ; but in heaven, 
Set at God's right hand on high ; 

When like stars his children crown 'd, 

And in white shall wait around.

He is risen! he is risen! 



He is risen ! he is risen ; 

Tell it out with joyful voice ! 
He has burst his three days' prison ; 

Let the whole wide earth rejoice : 
Death is conquered, man is free, 
Christ has won the victory. 



Come, with high and holy hymning, 
Chant our Lord's triumphant lay ; 

Not one darksome cloud is dimming 
Yonder glorious morning ray, 

Breaking o'er the purple East, 

Symbol of our Easter feast. 



2 Come, ye sad and fearful-hearted, 
With glad smile and radiant brow : 
Lent's long shadows have departed ; 

All his woes are over now, 
And the passion that he bore : 
Sin and pain can vex no more. 



4 He is risen, he is risen ; 

He hath opened heaven's gate ; 
We are free from sin's dark prison, 

Risen to a holier state ; 
And a brighter Easter beam 
On our longing eyes shall stream.

0 thou who hast at thy command, 



O thou who hast at thy command 3 
The hearts of all men in thy hand, 
Our wayward, erring hearts incline 
To have no other will but thine. 

Our wishes, our desires, control, / 
Mould every purpose of the soul ; 
O'er all may we victorious be 
That stands between ourselves and thee.

Thrice blest with all our blessings be 
When we can look through them to thee, 
When each glad heart its tribute pays 
Of love and gratitude and praise, 

And, while we to thy glory live, 
May we to thee all glory give 
Until the joyful summons come 
That calls thy willing servants homel
